Producers,
this play was professionally
developed for easy school touring.
It books well, principals and teachers love the educational and
science tie-ins making your Study Guide look great. It is
fast-paced and moves seamlessly from scene to scene, really holding a
young audience's attention. There are lots of opportunities for
great dramatic scenes and very funny comedy; it has a nice poignant ending.

"Thomas
Edison: The
Fire of Genius,
by renowned children’s theatre playwright Kathryn Schultz Miller,
examines the landmark events in the
great inventor’s life.
The genius himself takes
the young audience
on this inspirational
personal journey from
a troubled childhood to the
triumph
of his scientific discoveries."
Bari Newport,
Florida Rep, FL |
"Kathryn
Schultz Miller's work really transcends
the form of plays
for young audiences. The body
of her work speaks to the human
spirit. Her ability to find theatrical
forms that hold the precious stuff of ideas
together is quite remarkable."

Anderson, Artistic Director, Phoenix
Theatre of

"Ms.
Miller's plays are easy to stage but not sparse, fun
for the kids and interesting
enough for adults. It's clear she respects
her audience's imaginative and
intellectual abilities."
